MK Party Slams Ramaphosa for Removing Justice Minister Thembi Simelane, Accuses Him of Undermining Justice

The uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MK Party) has sharply criticized President Cyril Ramaphosa’s decision to dismiss Minister Thembi Simelane from her role as Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development. The party argues that the removal is not aimed at improving Cabinet performance, but rather at silencing a principled leader who has consistently opposed factional political influence.

At the heart of the controversy is Simelane’s vocal opposition to the renewal of Advocate Shamila Batohi’s term as National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP). The MK Party contends that Batohi’s tenure has been marked by failures in delivering justice, particularly regarding State Capture cases. They emphasize that the NPA’s role should be based on evidence, not politically driven narratives.

Simelane had also raised concerns about questionable appointments within the NPA, notably the placement of individuals without proper security clearances. According to the MK Party, these decisions have undermined the NPA’s credibility and public trust.

The MK Party argues that Ramaphosa’s reshuffle is part of a larger strategy to consolidate control over the justice system, while avoiding accountability for unresolved issues such as the Phala Phala scandal and controversial campaign financing. They believe the president’s repeated references to State Capture are a diversion from his administration’s failings.

“This move is about stifling dissent, not justice or governance,” said the MK Party. “Minister Simelane’s unwavering commitment to the rule of law made her a target in a government determined to avoid scrutiny.”

The party warns that Simelane’s removal is a betrayal of South Africans’ hopes for true justice and accountability, urging the public to reject what they describe as a political maneuver that threatens democratic values.

“Justice cannot thrive in a system plagued by factionalism or compromised institutions,” the MK Party concluded. “South Africa deserves leadership that serves the people, not political agendas.”

This controversy raises serious concerns about the independence of South Africa’s justice system and the increasing influence of political interests in key state institutions.
